Reviewer Comments:

Rented this cabin for an extended family weekend getaway including the VA creeper trail. Cabin was nice but located in a strange development that seemed to have big plans, but never really took off. A lot of infrastructure put in place but few houses. Cabin was nice though, but not crazy about the management company. When they called to give me the entry code on the day of my arrival I was informed that they had found the hot tub unplugged and it would have to be drained and cleaned, but they hoped to get someone on it ASAP. When we arrived, there was a maintenance person there draining the hot tub. I did appreciate them getting to it that fast, but once he drained, cleaned, then re-filled the hot tub there was no way it was going to warm up enough to use on night one of our two night stay. On night two we planned to use the hot tub but the pump motor would not run constantly and kept surging to the point it was causing the lights in the basement of the cabin to dim. No I see why the hot tub was unplugged and we unplugged it as well thinking this was not a good operating condition. Unfortunately, the rental instructions on the fridge are rather explicit as to what the rental office hours are and what is considered an after hours emergency maintenance issue. Of course hot tub issues are not one of them. So basically, our entire stay was not during "business" hours and we were without the hot tub for both nights of our stay. This alone would not have been too much of a bother, as we still made the most of our stay. I did however call the rental office Monday morning to inform them that we had also unplugged the hot tub and to let them know what it was doing and that was probably the reason it was unplugged prior to our visit. I also asked to have my hot tub fee refunded as I did like paying for a service I was unable to use. The lady I spoke to seemed hesitant to my request and said she would let them know and they would get back to me. No repsonse.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay at Paradise Retreat. The home is located in a gated community that is private. We only rent out Paradise Retreat in the community. We do have guidelines for our emergency after hours number but we do encourage guests to call us with any issues they experience. After investigating the issues with the hot tub, it was a mechanical problem that has been corrected. A credit has been issued to your credit card. Please let us know if you do not see it .

We had to evacuate Wilmington, NC and booked this cabin at the last minute. The rental agency was very helpful and flexible with our situation and we are lucky to have found them!

Reviewer Comments:

The house was clean and beautiful overall, however, that's about the extent of positive comments I can give. There was not a sufficient amount of kitchen supplies. There were one set of sheets for each bed, but no extras for the pull out couch. There were extra blankets, so we used those as sheets. There were no extra pillows, in fact, not all the beds had a pillow. There was no fireplace in this rental, which is sad considering it's a mountain house and it snowed almost the whole time we were there and temps were below zero. The HVAC was SO loud that it kept us up all night. We just prayed it didn't quit on us! There was only 1 TV in the whole house. Not in any bedrooms or in the basement with the pool table. So putting a movie on for the kids while the adults watch something different is not an option. It is not "near Boone" like advertised. It is approximately 30-45 mins from Boone in fact. This was just not what we expected when we booked this "Paradise Retreat".

Thank you for leaving a review of your recent stay at Paradise Retreat. The cabin is located near Boone. It is approximately a 20 minute drive from the cabin into Boone. Unfortunately, the owners did not install a fireplace when they built the cabin. We wish you had contacted us during your stay regarding sheets for the fold out and the loud HVAC. We would have sent somone out to bring more sheets if needed and check the HVAC.

Extremely Peaceful

We had originally planed to have the cabin as a jumping off point to take the grand children biking on the Va. Creeper Trail however the weather had different ideas. So we changed gears and enjoyed the solitude of the mountains with family. We found the cabin very accommodating to all of our needs except for a BBQ grill that was supposed to be on site.

Reviewer Comments:

We really enjoyed staying in this cabin. The directions provided were very helpful and we had no problems finding the cabin. Overall, it was very clean and nice. However, there were a ton of flies and other bugs in the windows and main floor bedrooms and bathroom. They made our stay somewhat less comfortable. We would rent from this company again, but would want to stay elsewhere.

Owner's Response:

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay at Paradise Retreat. Had you called us during your stay we would have been more than happy to send someone out to clean up the bugs for you. During fall in the mountains, bugs try to find the warmest place possible and in some cases it is inside a cabin. We certainly hope you will stay with us again.

Wonderful place to stay!

Had a great time with family and friends in this beautiful home with everything we needed and more! We were in town for an ASU football game and the 25 minute drive from Boone was beautiful and got us out of the crowds with ease. Would definitely stay there again!
